Princess Leia is NOT a Disney Princess. Nice try though.


It’s a princess party, not a Disney princess party.


Is there any recognizable Princess Leia costume? The only one I remember is the metal bikini and that’s wildly inappropriate...


Yes, of course! The white dress and hair buns she wore for the entirety of the first Star Wars movie (A New Hope). Whenever I see little girls dressed as Princess Leia for Halloween, it is always this particular costume.

My friend recently gave me a beautiful flower girl dress. I have no use for it but it is a very pretty dress.

Ugh I know I’m totally overthinking this.


No one would care what she came in OP. If she wants to dress in regular clothes, use some leggings and top that matches your flower girl dress. Take that flower girl dress and a head band with you - just in case she wants a dress after she sees her friends all dressed up. You can slip the dress over her at the party.

Wear the flower girl dress and add a tiara. Or a cute top and tutu.

Introduce her to actual princesses (spoiler, ones a young kid who’s allowed to get dirty!) and let her dress normally.

She's a princess in a movie that's part of the Disney franchise. So, yes, she's a Disney Princess. But it's just a princess party anyway.

100% overthinking this. No one will notice, or if they do, they certainly won't care if she comes in street clothes.

This makes me feel so much better. Thank you.

She likes to be comfortable and clothes/hair are a battle for us. She hates when I brush her hair. She hates any fancy. She is a t shirt and leggings girl.

I'd borrow one from a friend and bring it in case once she sees everyone she wants to slip on a dress.

Our kids attend a pricey preschool. I bet we are the only family without any princess dresses laying around.
